Welcome to the Tokyo Paralympics 2020! :biggrin:

~This thread is all about Powerlifting~

One of the cornerstone events of any games, this Paralympics has a lot in store in the pool. There's almost constant action in the swimming and the good news for UK residents is that many of the medal finals are in our mid morning. :awesome:

(unlike in the Olympics when US television brought them all to 3am...)

Please join me in enjoying the best of the swimming in Tokyo! :grin:
